Undated can, shelf at Bier Cellar Portland, drunk 8/26/23. Light chill haze, deep bronze-golden. Small, white head quickly to ring. Clean, crisp, very floral with fresh baguette and light honey-like malt. Hint of pepper and herb. It fairs a bit worse in mouth with a bit of sourdough dominating and some papery/overly-bready character. Heavy pepper and herb. Rather forceful; even the malt is borderline too sweet/syrupy and lightly underattenuated. Clean, though.
